Abstract

The results of Monte Carlo calculations for π−(1–20 GeV) and e−(1–10 GeV), normally incident on the center of a cylindrical calorimeter are presented. The calorimeter design has 60 unit cells of alternating PbAlLucite plates and is a simplified model of one to be used at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. General characteristics of the total and spatial energy deposition are given. Pulse height spectra, as well as spectra of the transverse fractional energy distributions and of their first and second moments, are given to aid in hadron-lepton discrimination. Sampling fluctuations are also examined for this purpose. Some results for the effects of a uniform probability of incidence over the central transverse strip and also some longitudinal discriminants are presented.
